AMEBICAN SEED TRADE ASSOCIATION. 



Pres., J. C. Robinson, Waterloo, Neb.; First 

 Vice-pres., M. H. Diiryea, New York; Sec'y and 

 Treas.. C. E. Kendel, Cleveland, O. Twenty-eighth 

 annual meeting, Atlantic City, N. J., June 21 to 

 23, 1910. 



Eeports from California growers indi- 

 cate a fair degree of satisfaction with 

 the growing season to date. 



E. Fischer writes that the hard win- 

 ter in California has been the cause of 

 unusually small crops of marketable 

 bulbs of freesia. 



In the county of Essex, in England, 

 a large acreage of nasturtiums is grown 

 for seed each year, much of which is ex- 

 ported to the United States. 



W. F. PuLS, president of the W. F. 

 Puis Seed Co., Houston, Tex., also is the 

 Jeading retail delicatessen dealer in that 

 town, with two stalls in the city market. 



It is said the call for. sweet peas has 

 run so largely to the Spencer varieties 

 that some seedsmen would be glad if their 

 growing contracts read a little differ- 

 ently. 



Mail orders are falling off, possibly a 

 little faster than usual at this date, for 

 the heat of March brought in a good 

 many orders that ordinarily are received 

 in April. 



The Reichardt & Schulte Co., Houston, 

 Tex., reports that this has been much the 

 largest season, not only for them but 

 for the seed trade generally in Texas 

 and the southwest. 



In opening the jubilee show of the 

 Haarlem Bulb Growers' Association, the 

 president, E. II. Krelage, whom many 

 American seedsmen know, gave charming 

 little addresses in Dutch, English, 

 French and German, a linguistic feat 

 provoking envy in less gifted mortals. 



L. H. Murray, vice-president of the 

 Springfield Seed Co., of Springfield, Mo., 

 was recently elected president of the 

 Merchants' National Bank of Spring- 

 field. E. E. Eicketts, president of the 

 same seed firm, was chosen as one of the 

 bank's directors, and other stockholders 

 of the seed company are interested in the 

 bank, which is said to be one of the 

 largest institutions of its kind in that 

 part of the state. 



The Crop Eeporting Board of the 

 Bureau of Statistics of the United States 

 Department of Agriculture estimates, 

 from the reports of correspondents and 

 agents of the bureau, that the average 

 condition of winter wheat April 1 was 

 80.8 per cent of a normal, against 82.2 

 April 1, 1909, 91.3 April 1, 1908, and 87 

 the average condition for the past ten 

 years. The decline in condition from 

 December 1, 1909, to April 1, 1910, was 

 15 points, as compared with an average 

 decline in the past ten years of 4.5 points.

F. Cooper, Ltd., seedsmen, Wellington, 

 New Zealand, send newspaper cuttings 

 and illustrations of a new seed ware- 

 house they have just erected, costing, in- 

 cluding the site, some $100,000. The 

 firm started in a small way nearly half 

 a century ago, and now, in addition to 

 its imports, grows seeds largely for home 

 and export sale, and has this year 500 

 acres under seed peas in addition to nu- 

 merous other specialties. 



THE BULB SEASON. 



The Holland bulb salesmen are reach- 

 ing the end of their routes, closing the 

 order books and, in the majority of 

 cases, departing for England. Within 

 the next fortnight most of them will 

 have taken their departure. As a rule, 

 they express themselves well satisfied 

 with the season's booking of orders. 

 While there has been for several seasons 

 a steady cutting down of orders, espe- 



As we are going to grow seeds 

 on our own farms only, we are 

 selling out at import prices our 

 fine stock of Vegetable and 

 Flower Seeds, imported from 

 the best European Growers.
